tag and bookmark

a nifty little addon for making it easier to tag, bookmark, etc. things you find here that are of interest to you. you’ll note a tidy set of rows under each post (viewing from the post page, not from the home page). and a convenient Digg submittal in the upper right of every post. when you find one that you like, want to tag, or think deserves attention, just hit the appropriate button and you’re off to the races. enjoy!
